Ah I see, thought you were buying it yourself.
I've been wondering about NAS lately with the amount of network devices I have in the house, and briefly considered a shitbox made from whatever cheap quiet computer and RAID card I could find, and the 320/160GB laptop HDDs I can get for cheap, used, off old school netbooks
Shot that idea down pretty quickly when I realized any one of them failing would mean my data goes to the shitter, though.
I'm putting together a little something for my nephew's 10th birthday as his first own PC out of spare components I've got laying around
Phenom II X4 965
ASUS M4N75TD
8GB RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD 7970
120GB Samsung 750 SSD
500GB WD Caviar Blue HDD
He's essentially getting my setup ca. 2011. Except not really because I had an i5 750 and a HD 5870 back then
Together with this case and power supply:

Keep in mind that this is analog HD. It's not as simple as you insert a hi-vision disc in the player and connect component/DVI cabling to your TV. It's the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_sub-Nyquist_sampling_encoding]MUSE System[/url].

Even after he bought the player and a movie or two he still needs another converter to adapt MUSE to modern digital HD which is another few hundred dollars.
I mean, HD laserdiscs sound cool and all but fucking that kind of a base cost just to set the player up? No thanks.

I need to grab this somewhere local for a repair I got on my bench. Any cable manufacturers that might manufacture this?

And I think I just found it. Just not sure how compatibility would be between the Asus G20 and the cable. I'd be fairly confident that they're the same pin-outs though.

what in the holy fuck, I have never had this happen even with 16GB of RAM and doing lots of audio processing. that's gotta be all video rendering/caching, right?

No, darker purple is Modified (in use but not yet written back to disk), and light grey is Standby/prefetch (none allocated in my case).
Standby memory does not count towards used memory.

[QUOTE=Levelog;52029553]That's why my Precision has 64gb[/QUOTE]
I legitimately considered 64GB when I was building this workstation, but then I realized I only fill up around 16GB of memory on average. So 32 was the more economical choice
After seeing how much Premiere Pro can eat, I'd want to get as much RAM as I can. So at least 32GB for desktop.
I'm currently using 9/16GB with all of the Chrome tabs and other non-media-related things I have running.
Where's that guy who was telling me there's no reason to have swap/a pagefile if you have 16GB or more of RAM
[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;52029610]Where's that guy who was telling me there's no reason to have swap/a pagefile if you have 16GB or more of RAM[/QUOTE]
There really isn't to be honest. Your RAM is always faster than your pagefile by several orders of magnitudes, and the only time you [I]might [/I]consider enabling it is if you know your task may exceed your physical memory imo.
Even in this case, your performance is completely thrashed at this point anyways.
So the only purpose of having a pagefile is really to let your task continue slowly instead of grinding to a halt completely, by moving less active memory to your disk and grow your memory further using the pagefile.

So does that mean the system was basically holding onto data waiting to be written to disk?
I've noticed this on WS2016 storage spaces. Stuff immediately goes to ram as like a 1-2GB buffer and then gets written out to the pool. It's one reason I wanna get more ram to see if I can get away with not needing to SSD cache it.

Mine's also my ESXi host so it's got a few things running
I think I need to start running my ThinkPad at home via Ethernet instead of WiFi if I want it to upload stuff 24/7. I've noticed that the wifi card completely dies after ~10 hours of constant uploading. I can't even remote desktop into it now, so I have to go home and fix it.
I'm also using ExpanDrive to handle Google Drive uploading and it likes to disconnect or go really slowly and not utilize all of my upload bandwidth after a few hours of going at full speed. This is clearly really annoying. I just want to upload and forget..

Idk, on my W10 machine my pagefile is barely touched.

Non of that is in a swap file, its all virtual memory, it wouldn't change anything because they are files mapped in virtual memory for writing.
If the system would be writing to a swap/page file here, all it would do is decrease performance. Even if you'd write the cache to a different HD, it wouldn't complete faster because when the mapping closes it almost always needs to be non-volatile.

Can't you allocate a RAM disk and tell Windows to use that for virtual memory? That's how I've done it for years when building 9x machines where you're running off a flash card but you have an unimaginable of ram installed. It also doesn't rape your solid state storage.

I haven't noticed anything different. Cannot confirm.
[QUOTE=Xanadu;52029861]I haven't noticed anything different. Cannot confirm.[/QUOTE]
This means mission accomplished.
So today, I learned that PHP doesn't let you return a class from a function, ie. classes aren't first-class citizens.
Which means I can't do a pattern like:
[code]class Model {
public static function getAll(){ ... }
}
class UserModel extends Model { ... }
class Controller {
abstract public static function getModel();
public function renderListView(){
$objects = getModel()->getAll();
// ...
}
}
class UserController extends Controller {
static function getModel(){ return UserModel; }
}[/code]
The funniest/saddest part is the error I get:
[code]Notice: Use of undefined constant UserModel - assumed 'UserModel'
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getAll() on string[/code]
Yeah. It doesn't just say "you can't return a class as though it were a data type", it assumes you made a typo, corrects for it, and [I]then[/I] it crashes and burns.
I am tempted to rewrite this project in basically any other language.
What is it about web languages and being absolute garbage

Those particular ones are pretty solid and are still high stability on Comcast and Cox's network. Though apparently lately spectrum is sucking with SB61XX ones lately.
Though honestly, not sure what else I'd go with personally. Motorola apparently now is back to making their own modems. I really aint a fan of NetGear
